Resign rather than pay the CSA?

November 21, 2009

Over a year ago my bf’s ex decided that she wasn’t getting enough money directly so went through the CSA. After she realised she would only be getting the same, they came to a mutual agreement that the direct payments would work better. I had been recieving letters through for him at my address but just sent them back because we wasn’t talking at the time.

Funny thing is they actually have his phone number but was adamant that they called and no one answered, well i would of assumed that a voicemail wouldn’t of been too much effort to leave. Anyway nothing arose until August 09 when he got the biggest shock of his life when £500 was taken out of his wages.

After numerous phone calls he found out it was CSA that had set up a DEO without him knowing.

Can they do this????.

Anyhow he tried to phone them to ask why this had happened but all he got was I can’t access your details without a reerence number, which i know is a lot of twaddle because they search using name and address details. Which in turn they obviously haven’t checked for updated details and used old ones!!!!

We did find out that this had all happened due to myself and bf having a time out in which he now lives in his own house and once he had mentioned to her that her money will be decreasing, because he has my daughter to upkeep aswell, she got jealous and greedy and come to the conclusion that CSA was the way to get more money.

Well she certainly got it by screwing him over for the last 2 months. I desperately need advice as he is at the point of handing in his notice.

    Hi hayley – So when did the case first become effective with the agency. Was it a year ago when your OH and his ex came to their mutual agreement?

    If your OH has never supplied income details, to enable a proper calculation to be carried out, he may well be subject to a default maintenance decision. Which may be over inflating the alleged arrears ( can also work the other way though) and can be altered.

    The agency should be able to deal with him regarding his case once in receipt of his name, NI number, date of birth and address.
    Your OH could contact the agency in writing, he will obtain a case ref number on their written reply.
